CentOS 5 squid: error while loading shared libraries

ajitabhpandey · 01-23-2011, 01:13 AM

Hi,

I installed squid on the CentOS 5 server. When I try to start squid I am receiving following error:

# service squid start
init_cache_dir /var/spool/squid... Starting squid: [FAILED]

The logs indicate the following:

$ sudo tail /var/log/squid/squid.out
squid: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
squid: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
squid: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
squid: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
squid: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
squid: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

Although, all the libraries which are shown as missing are present, but still I am seeing the following.

$ ldd /usr/sbin/squid
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffb95ff000)
libcrypt.so.1 => not found
libssl.so.6 => not found
libcrypto.so.6 => not found
libdl.so.2 => not found
libz.so.1 => not found
librt.so.1 => not found
libpthread.so.0 => not found
libm.so.6 => not found
libnsl.so.1 => not found
libc.so.6 => not found

I have tried setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/lib64:/usr/lib64:/lib:/usr/lib

But still no use.

Any help/pointers will be appreciated.

Description: Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,

           : especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports
           : non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed
           : requests.
           : 
           : Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System
           : lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data
           : (ftpget), and some management and client tools.

Yes I installed squid from base, a simple

Code:

# yum install squid

I configured the /etc/squid/squid.conf manually. No GUI on the server.

SELinux is enabled, but I have put it into permissive mode, which still gives me the same problem, so it is not an issue.
